Citronella oil, with the CAS number 8000-29-1, is a natural essential oil derived primarily from the leaves and stems of various species of Cymbopogon, commonly known as lemongrass. This oil is characterized by its distinct lemon-like aroma, which is attributed to its high content of monoterpenes, particularly citronellal, citronellol, and geraniol. Citronella oil is known for its insect-repellent properties, making it a popular ingredient in candles, sprays, and personal care products aimed at repelling mosquitoes and other pests. Additionally, it possesses antimicrobial and antifungal properties, which contribute to its use in various applications, including aromatherapy and as a natural preservative. The oil is typically yellow to light brown in color and has a relatively low viscosity. It is soluble in alcohol and oils but insoluble in water. Due to its volatile nature, citronella oil should be stored in a cool, dark place to maintain its efficacy and prevent degradation.
